  2. Auvitra 20mg is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men.ED is a condition where a man is unable to achieve or maintain an erection during sensual activity.This contains the active ingredient vardenafil, which is a type of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. PDE5 inhibitors work by increasing blood flow to the genital organ of the male, allowing a man to achieve and maintain an erection. You can buy Auvitra 20mg dosage online.This is taken orally, approximately 30 to 60 minutes before sensual activity.The effects of the medication can last for up to 4 hours. It is important to note that this does not work without sensual stimulation and will not cause an erection unless the man is sensually aroused. It is important to follow the instructions of a healthcare provider when taking Auvitra 20mg. The medication may cause side effects such as headache, flushing, indigestion, and back pain.
